Beneath a quiet village, dark crimes lie buried.
When decomposed human remains are discovered in a suitcase behind a locked door in the home of an elderly man, Detective Karen Hart thinks the facts speak for themselves. That is, until she finds the warning: It’s time to pay for your crime.
The body belongs to a former teacher, Oliver Fox, who vanished from the village thirty years earlier. Hart’s instincts tell her there is something untoward about this rural Lincolnshire community—especially when she uncovers evidence suggesting that, although Fox was a victim, he certainly wasn’t innocent. As the extent of Fox’s crimes becomes apparent and the web of lies continues to unravel, almost nobody in the village is above suspicion.
When there are whispers of child abuse in connection with the case, it’s clear someone is willing to do anything to keep the sinister truth buried. Can Hart find the culprit before more lives are lost?

I started this one instantly after finishing Bring Them Home. I just needed more of DS Hart. This one was wow, maybe the secrets should have stayed buried? I never would have guessed what really happened, but not to worry, you will find out at the end.
Enjoyed it!

Narrator:
Henrietta Meire is a British performer. She is the voice of all the characters in this story. Her solo performance was top notch. Her performance out scored the writing and plot. Had it not been for the performance my interest in this book would have diminished. In fact, I read this book prior to investing in the audiobook. I’m glad I purchased this audiobook because the performance was splendid despite my lack of interest in the story.
An unexpected discovery opens up a cold case from thirty years ago. DS Karen Hart is the Sergeant working with DI Morgan to solve this unusual case.
Several people seemed to have motives for wanting Oliver Fox dead. Much to speculate with very few clues to investigate. Technology from thirty years ago was limited leaving investigators empty handed shelving this case as unsolved.
Let me introduce you to the characters:
DS Karen Hart a Sergeant in this case.
DI Scott Morgan an inspector in this case.
DC Sophie Jones a constable in this case and junior detective.
DC Rick Cooper a constable and junior detective.
These were UK police rankings.
Overall:
There were cracks in the system with the mixing of business with personal lives. A few disgruntled workers let their personal lives interfere with the investigation. While I understood the reason for these characters flaws I was disappointed by their complaints or grievances to the job. These minor supporting characters didn’t offer anything substantial to the story. It felt like nonsensical information to fill in the pages adding to the word count.
I was disappointed with the execution of this case. This plot had the potential to be a great story if it hadn’t got sidetracked with the personal lives of these disgruntled officers.
I appreciate the complication of this cold case having very little to go on. A very confusing investigation. Progress was slow leaving an opening for a story about the personal lives of these officers.
Had I known that the opening scene would take a backseat until sixty percent into the story my opinion of this story would have been better. It’s kind of jarring getting a suspenseful scene from the beginning with no answers until later.
